The Decline of IPOs: Why More Companies Aren't Going Public
0- by YFS Small Business Contributors
- in Finance · Grow
- — 5 Jul, 2012
We've all seen the smiling faces of company owners and executives as they ring the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange to mark the start of public trading of their shares.
Many outsiders assume that the ultimate goal of entrepreneurs is to ring that bell. After all, why wouldn't it be?
Facebook's recent IPO, the sharp drop in its share price, and the delay of other IPOs in the pipeline have reignited questions about why more U.S. companies aren't going public and what's behind the 15-year decline in the number of publicly traded companies.
This approach is backward, however. In the current conversation, we should be asking why would these companies want to go public, rather than why wouldn't they.
Why More Companies Aren't Going Public
I believe the trend of companies choosing to stay private rather than pursue an IPO is a matter of owners seeing fewer benefits to an IPO. They're looking at their current situation and finding insufficient motivation to change it.
For example, most people who start businesses enjoy the freedom that comes with entrepreneurship. They are not particularly entranced by the prospect of government paperwork or regulation. It is just antithetical to who they are.
It's not to say they're cowboys. Yet, few of them would wake up in the morning and want the pressure or hassle of completing a Sarbanes-Oxley filing or the stress of being required to personally and publicly sign off on the accuracy of a large, complex company's financial statements. So right off the bat, going public for an entrepreneur is probably not a good fit, and that is where we need to begin the analysis.
Increased Access to Capital
One incentive for a business owner to hold an IPO is to "cash out" on some of his or her hard work, and I'm sure there are some who do. But while Mark Zuckerberg probably made a lot of money with the Facebook IPO, he probably already had a lot of money or at least the prospect of it.
The difference between today and the past is that entrepreneurs or early investors don't necessarily have to go public to get liquidity. There are other good avenues for getting liquidity for their shares, such as selling the company outright, offering shares on the secondary market, securing private equity, or even possibly paying dividends (yes, some companies with high growth rates actually make a profit).
The private-equity secondary market, for example, where limited partners, general partners and accredited investors can buy and sell shares of private companies, saw about $25 billion in transaction volume in 2011, according to private-equity advisory firm Cogent Partners. I believe that the secondary markets are going to grow significantly.
Controlled Expenses
Business owners also like to have control over the things that eat into their returns. Why would they want to have higher expenses if it wasn't necessary for growing their company?
It's costly to be a public company. For example, public companies, unlike private companies, must produce quarterly financial reports, usually with a compressed turnaround time between the close of the quarter and the government's filing deadline.

SRS Labs has announced the upcoming availability of SRS HD Audio Lab (HAL), audio software designed to provide a great audio experience when listening to music or watching videos and movies on Windows-based PCs.
HD Audio Lab, which is compatible with all PC-based media players, optimizes the way sound is processed through PCs. Using the system graphical interface, users can fully control and customize audio to their listening preference by selecting their speaker or headphone setup and adjusting multiple audio settings through the advanced control panel. HAL restores clarity and overall fidelity to digital music, while at the same time improving bass response, so music sounds more natural and notably closer to the original recording. The system works with both stereo and surround content, creating a virtual three-dimensional surround sound via any speaker configuration or headphones.
Having completed its beta-testing program, SRS HD Audio Lab is expected to be available for purchase beginning this month directly from SRS or through select retailers and online stores. PC users interested in test-driving HAL before purchase can download a free 30-day trial online.

The 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup season has proven to be a year of exciting change for Clint Bowyer. The 33-year-old Emporia, Kan. native entered his seventh full-time season at the sport's highest level but his first at Michael Waltrip Racing driving the No. 15 5-hour ENERGY Toyota under the guidance of veteran crew chief Brian Pattie.
It didn't take long for the new combination to click. Bowyer and Pattie became a favorite nearly every weekend before dominating the road course race at Sonoma giving Bowyer his sixth career victory and MWR's third.
Bowyer joined teammates Martin Truex Jr., future hall-of-famer Mark Martin and two-time Daytona 500 champion Michael Waltrip in the MWR driver lineup. All three cars have raced well in 2012 with Martin winning three poles while Bowyer and Truex appear to be prime contenders for berths in the Chase for the Sprint Cup.

Results tagged ' Drew Pomeranz '
Rockies roster set
Rockies manager Jim Tracy announced his Opening Day roster on Monday, although there will be some changes in the early days of the season. Left-handed pitcher Drew Pomeranz won't be activated until April 15, when he is scheduled to pitch, and lefty Jamie Moyer won't be activated until he starts Saturday against the Astros.
One spot is up in the air. Left-handed reliever Josh Outman is battling food poisoning. If he won't be ready for Friday, the Rockies will have to make an adjustment by bringing back right-hander Alex White, who was optioned to the Minors on Monday.
Tracy also said he is comfortable setting a roster with shortstop Troy Tulowitzki active. Tulowitzki suffered a bruised left elbow on Sunday when hit by a pitch from the Indians' Ubaldo Jimenez.
Here is the roster for Friday's opener against the Astros:
PITCHERS (11) — Jeremy Guthrie, Juan Nicasio, Jhoulys Chacin, Matt Belisle, Rafael Betancourt, Rex Brothers, Tyler Chatwood, Matt Reynolds, Josh Roenicke, Esmil Rogers, Josh Outman
CATCHERS (2) — Ramon Hernandez, Wilin Rosario
INFIELDERS (7) — Todd Helton, Marco Scutaro, Troy Tulowitzki, Jordan Pacheco, Chris Nelson, Jason Giambi, Jonathan Herrera.
OUTFIELDERS (5) — Carlos Gonzalez, Dexter Fowler, Michael Cuddyer, Tyler Colvin, Eric Young Jr.
Big day for Rockies' Moscoso in Tucson
The Rockies and Padres are gearing up for a Spring Training exhibition at Kino Stadium in Tucson, Ariz. — the place known as Tucson Electric Park back when the Rockies played there. This is the game that was called off because of bad weather a few days ago. This is big for Tucson, which lost all of its teams a couple of years ago. The fans should have a chance to see many members of the Triple-A Tucson Padres.
It's even bigger for Rockies right-hander Guillermo Moscoso, who is fighting for a spot on the Rockies' pitching staff and trending upward.
Moscoso, 28, obtained along with lefty Josh Outman from the Athletics for outfielder Seth Smith during the offseason, struggled in his frist two Cactus League appearances. He gave up four runs on five hits and two walks against the Cubs in his first appearance, and one run but four hits and a walk against the White Sox the next time he pitched. Granted, he was more concerned with putting pitches over the plate than anything else, but trying to make the team and possibly the starting rotation calls for more than that.
But Moscoso delievered in his last outing, throwing three scoreless innings against the Reds, striking out three and holding them to one hit and no walks. It looks as if rotation spots will go to Jeremy Guthrie, Jhoulys Chacin, Drew Pomeranz and, it seems likely, Juan Nicasio, who is making a dramatic return from a broken neck. Moscoso appears to be battling power pitcher Tyler Chatwood and 49-year-old lefty Jamie Moyer. A righty, Alex White, is in the mix; White will pitch in Tucson today. Outman was affected by the weather earlier in he week and needs to rebuild his stamina, so he might be more in line for a bullpen job.
Moscoso can work out of the rotation and the bullpen. If he continues to gain steam, he gives the Rockies a versatile arm.
Here is the lineup for the Rockies today in Tucson:
Eric Young Jr., CF
Jonathan Herrera, SS
Jordan Pacheco, C
Chad Tracy, 1B
Tyler Colvin, RF
Chris Nelson, 3B
Charlie Blackmon, LF
DJ LeMahieu, 2B
Guillermo Moscoso, RHP
Don'f forget, the Rockies will face the Giants at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick tonight, with Moyer pitching. Guthrie will pitch in a nighttime Minor League game at the complex.
Pomeranz to pitch today for Rockies AAA; more action to watch on back fields
The Rockies are off today. However, right-hander Drew Pomeranz, who left his last start with tightness in his right glute, will pitch today in a Minor League game against Angels Triple-A players at Tempe. Pomeranz is expected to work around four innings.
Manager Jim Tracy also said several Rockies regulars will be taking at-bats in Minor League games to sharpen themselves for the season. A Major League player can bat in every inning in a Minor League game, which guarantees the plate appearances he needs.
"I'm going to check with Jason Giambi after we get back off the off-day and Todd [Helton] to see if they want additional at-bats from the ones that they're getting in the [regular] games," Tracy said. "There is one stipulation. I'm not disrespecting anyone with regard to the statement, but I want them back there on a day when the Double-A and Triple-A clubs are back there. I don't want them to go back there and hit in an A-ball game, just because you have young kids learning how to pitch.
"Double-A and Triple-A, you see guys that could show up in the Major Leagues. I don't want one of them [veterans] getting hurt in an A-ball game. That won't happen."
Tracy also said switch-hitting leadoff man Dexter Fowler also will get Minor League at-bats. Fowler doubled Tuesday night against the Padres but also struck out twice and his hitting .103. Tracy said the timing of his leg kick is a little off, but he's not panicking about it.
Multiple injury updates, lineups for Rockies-Dodgers
— After hitting and taking groundball Friday, Rockies third baseman Casey Blake — who must prove he is healthy after neck surgery last year to hold onto a starting job — planned a full workout on Saturday with hopes of playing Sunday. Saturday will be the sixth straight day Blake has missed five days because of soreness in the trapezius muscle.
— Left-handed pitcher Jamie Moyer was "virtually pain-free," according to Rockies head athletic trainer Keith Dugger, when he threw a bullpen session on Saturday morning. Moyer planed a long day of strengthening, flexibility and treatment after the session. Moyer had been scratched from a Minor League start on Friday.
— Right-hander Jhoulys Chacin, who left Thursday's start with a blister on his right index finger, said Saturday morning he was about to throw a 30-35-pitch bullpen session. Chacin left his start Thursday with the ailment after throwing 44 pitches in three innings. He said he does not expect to have any problem making his next scheduled start, on Tuesday against the Padres at Peoria, Ariz.
— Chris Nelson, competing to step into the void at third base if Blake can't answer the bell, will start Saturday against the Dodgers at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick. Other players in the lineup needing big performances to make the squad are outfielders Eric Young Jr. and Andrew Brown, and catcher Wil Nieves.
— Rockies righty Drew Pomeranz threw 35-40 bullpen pitches Friday, will throw again on Sunday, and will start in a game on Wednesday. Pomeranz left his last start with right glute tightness.

Pomeranz leads Rockies vs. Royals; also, Rox face M's in B game
Rockies left-hander Drew Pomeranz hopes to build on his scoreless two innings in the team's Cactus League opener, a 1-1 tie with the D-backs on Friday afternoon, when he faces the Royals today. Fans can see the contest via a webcast. The game will start at 1:10 p.m. at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick. Felipe Paulino, formerly with the Rockies, will pitch for Kansas City.
Additionally, the Rockies and Mariners will play a B game at Salt River Fields at 10 a.m. on Field 1, which is just beyond the right-field corner of the main stadium.
Here is the Rockies' batting order for the main game:
Dexter Fowler, CF

Rockies set lineup for Cactus opener
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — The Rockies open the Cactus League schedule against the D-backs on Saturday afternoon. Here is their batting order:
Dexter Fowler, CF
Marco Scutaro, 2B
Carlos Gonzalez, LF
Troy Tulowitzki, SS
Michael Cuddyer, RF
Tyler Colvin, DH
Ramon Hernandez, C
Nolan Arenado, 3B
Ben Paulsen, 1B
Left-hander Drew Pomeranz will be the starting pitcher, with Josh Outman, Rob Scahill, Matt Reynolds, Zach Putnam and Dustin Molleken are on the throwing schedule, with Mike Ekstrom and Josh Roenicke are scheduled as backups in case an inning gets out of hand.
Rockies manager Jim Tracy wants to be able to use Fowler at leadoff and Scutaro second in the order, but has said that could change. Scutaro hit toward the bottom of the order primarily for the Red Sox last season, but he is coming off a .299 batting average and .358 on-base percentage led the Rockies to plan on him hitting toward the top.
Veterans being given the day off are first basemen Todd Helton and Jason Giambi, and third baseman Casey Blake.
(This from the Rockies' game notes:)
BROADCAST INFORMATION:Today's game will be broadcast on Rockies Radio 850 KOA. Fourteen Rockies Cactus League games will be broadcast on 850 KOA, six games on ROOT Sports and 10 games on MLB.TV accessed through coloradorockies.com … The games broadcast on coloradorockies.com will be called by the voices of the Rockies Jack Corrigan and Jerry Schemmel.
Rockies offer in Moyer's court
For now, the Rockies' 2012 potential Opening Day starting rotation can be called the "under-30 club." But that could change, considerably, with one signing.
Looking for a veteran to help guide the young rotation, the Rockies could be bringing in the veteran — 49-year-old left-hander Jamie Moyer. The Rockies have made an offer of a Minor League contract, and a club official told MLB.com on Tuesday morning that "it's in his court."
Moyer had Tommy John ligament transfer surgery in his throwing elbow in December 2010 and worked for ESPN as an analyst last year, but stated all along he hoped to pitch again in 2012. He went 9-9 with a 4.84 ERA for the Phillies in 2010.
By making the offer, the Rockies are signaling that they believe Moyer can be a help to them, not merely a novelty, although his potential signing sparks folks to go digging for trivia. For example, when Moyer made his Major League debut for the Cubs on June 16, 1986, the following competitors for the Rockies' 2012 rotation had not been born: Jhoulys Chacin (Jan. 7, 1988), Tyler Chatwood (Dec. 16, 1989), Juan Nicasio (Aug. 31, 1986), Drew Pomeranz (Nov. 22, 1988) and Alex White (Aug. 29, 1988).
One of Moyer's teammates on the 1986 Cubs was Rockies television color commentator George Frazier, then a relief pitcher.
The Denver Post, which reported the offer to Moyer on Monday night, also reported that the Rockies are looking at trading for a second baseman, with the Red Sox's Marco Scutaro and the Mets' Justin Turner as possibilities.

The 'best practice' is to never touch the folder.
There is NO reason, on a properly functioning system, why this folder should ever need to be touched.
The %windir%\SoftwareDistribution\Download folder is automatically maintained by the WUAgent. On the off-chance that the Datastore and the Download folder get de-synchronized, it may be necessary one-time-only to delete any content in the Download folder that is over 10 days old.

1. Software
a) Clear out all temporary files and folders -- use CCleaner
b) Scan for malware spyware and viruses --Free Anti Spyware :- Malwarebytes Superantispyware
Free Antivirus software MicroSoft Security Essentials Avast
c) Clean the registry -- Use the tool in CCleaner its very safe and also allows you to back up the registry first.
d) Pagefile (Virtual Memory) -- Right click MY Computer - select properties - Advanced tab - Performance - advanced tab - Virtual memory click change, you can put the page file on a different drive (if you have one), click custom size and set Initial size to one and a half times the amount of memory you have fitted i.e. 512MB memory = set to 768MB, set maximum to double your memory amount i.e. 512MB memory = 1024MB click ok. If your hard drive is full and there is not enough room for the pagefile this can slow down, freeze or even cause the PC to crash (restart).
e) Cut down on the programs that load at start up -- Start - Run type msconfig - start up tab- untick everything except for firewall, antivirus and antispyware
and the services that run in the background. see blackviper.com
2. Hardware
a) Hard drives /
i) IDE Channels: (Not required if you have SATA drives) Check the transfer rate, you need to have the transfer mode set to DMA not PIO. Right click My Computer - Properties - Hardware - Device Manager - Expand (click the + ) IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers right click Primary Channel - Advanced Settings Tab - If transfer Mode is PIO then follow the instructions at http://forum.digital-digest.com/showthread.php?t=61905 to change.
ii) Check for errors and defrag your hard drives -- My Computer - select drive - properties - tool tab - Error checking / Defragmentation.
ii) If you are using Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7 it's a good idea to convert your system drive to the NTFS file system if you have not already. In addition to providing numerous security and data recovery improvements over FAT32 (the file system of choice for Windows 9x/ME and XP Home) it can also speed up your system slightly.
In fact, the only real reason for sticking with the FAT32 file system for any of your data is if you have more than one operating system on your PC and the other OS's can only see FAT32 partitions (as would be the case with Windows 98, for example, which is incapable of reading NTFS data).
To convert your drives to NTFS: Right click on 'my computer' and select 'manage' From the computer management window, expand storage and select 'disk management.' Using the 'file system' column of the upper pane of this window, you can easily check what file system each of your logical drives is using. Make a note of this information. Now open a command prompt window by going to 'start\run' and typing 'cmd' To convert a disk to NTFS, type 'convert (drive letter): /fs:ntfs' So for example, if you were going to convert your C: drive, you would type 'Convert c: /fs:ntfs' at the prompt.
b) Drivers Obtain the newest drivers for your hardware This may seem a bit obvious, but keeping your system's drivers up to date can give both your performance and stability a boost. Video card manufacturers release updates especially often, and these can often give "significant boosts" to gaming performance as video card in question is "optimized."
Don't neglect the other components of your system either. Your motherboard manufacturer may have released newer versions of its Input/output drivers for your board, and sound cards and other peripherals can also benefit from newer software.
c) Memory Your memory could be failing try memtest
Add more physical memory, this of course means opening the "box" and fitting a memory module, make sure you buy one that is suitable for your PC. Crucial will guide you through the process of selecting the correct memory. http://support.gateway.com/s/Manuals/Desktops/8509270.pdf for a guide to fitting memory.

A step into the unknown and a fascinating peek into group processes! Do you have wonderful thinkers but do they buckle under pressure in unforeseen business situations? Do mistakes get swept under the carpet and forgotten? Does your group shy away from risks?
We have all heard the adage "learning through our mistakes". Teams can now experience it through Learning Maze. Facing unforeseen situations is common in organization but it is important for a team to learn, grow and move ahead from the experience. If you want your team to discover how, then try out Learning Maze. A glimpse into Learning Maze: Teams usually have a very good time as they balance their way through the stones. As the name suggests the game literally involves stepping through an array of stones in solving a problem. The planning processes that each of the teams go through in dealing with the challenge can be fascinating for the facilitator. You will also gauge the manner in which your teams deal with their mistakes and will be able to identify the individuals who discover these mistakes within each team. Who should go for this game? You should choose Learning Maze if your objective is to coach your group in facing tough unforeseen business situations and in turning potentially negative fallouts of a decision into a positive learning experience that can shape future decisions. What will the group learn from Learning Maze?
In other words, groups will learn to recognize mistakes and to use the experience and knowledge acquired from it to perform more effectively in the future. The insight gained from the activity is many times articulated by the participants in the conversation initiated by the facilitator after the exercise. It is critical to have this dialogue with the group because the thoughts vocalized after a team building exercise will ultimately drive home what the exercise sought to accomplish in the first place. What is included in the Learning Maze Activity? The team building activity comes in an easy-to-use storage bag and will include the following:
It includes everything you need to provide a good quality, well thought out and meaningful With each team building purchase, you also receive:

I have ordered linens several times from overstock.com and have always been very happy. So it was only natural for me to look here first for a new comforter set. This purchase really missed the mark. I know the price is low, but I was still expecting better quality than what I received from Overstock. There are threads coming out of all the seams of the comforter. There is even one edge that was not sewn shut so it unraveled and now I have to sew it up. The stuffing in the comforter is cheap and lumpy. The fabric is very thin and fragile and I do have a hubby so I don¿t think it is going to last beyond one season. It is so very sad as it is the perfect blue to match my bedroom! I would have happily paid more for this set as I LOVE the style, colors and look of this set. I just wish it would have been well made. Oddly enough the shams and bed skirt that came with this set are excellent quality. Why couldn¿t they do the same for the comforter or the accent pillows?? I gave three stars for the appearance as it looks very pretty, but when you look at the seams all around the comforter you can immediately see the poor workmanship and all the loose tangled threads. I have never been disappointed by a purchase from overstock till today. I don¿t think I will order another comforter set again.
Bought the comfortor set for my new queen bed, very excited! Received the pkg-looked liked it was used! There were 2 small brown stains on top of comfortor. The stitching was coming out in numerous spots. Material is ok. Color definitley has a sea green hue. It's ok, but because of stitching, and stains, wouldn't recommend it. Also pilllows looked cheap, so when you have everything put together on the bed, it just looks like you bought a cheap comfortor set.
Unless you like ironing your bedding every day, and like tiny little threads poking out, and don't mind the seams of the pillows splitting with normal wear and tear after only a year, don't buy this set.
I like this bedding set and would have given it 5 stars if it weren't for one small/gigantic misstep. The walls in my bedroom are painted a pale blue, sorta like the picture shows online of this bedding set. I received it fairly quickly and really like the quality (although the wrinkles haven't worked themselves out yet). I noticed almost immediately though, that, oops, it's not really blue. It's actually a pale green. I went back and checked the box. Yes, it says Fountain Blue. I checked the packaging. Sure enough, Fountain Blue. I was so sure I was hallucinating, I took one of the small pillows out and took it shopping for sheets. And guess what? I had to buy SEAFOAM GREEN sheets to match it! I'm not quite sure why it's called Fountain Blue, because it is definitely green. Look, I could complain, but it's a really pretty set. Ok, it doesn't quite match my entire bedroom, but I can live with that. I'm the only one who sees it, and I really like it. It's a nice light weight, it's pretty and a steal at the price. And for someone who has a cat that loves to puke on comforters, I go through a LOT of bed sets. It's been two weeks and no puke. If you want to buy a pretty, nicely priced comforter bedding set, this one is pretty good. Just don't expect blue. . . :-)
The quality was way better than I thought it was going to be for the low price. Would have kept this product in a heart beat if the color was a little more blue. There is a hint of green which threw me off so I am returning it. Otherwise, I you can not beat the price and quality unless you want to spend a few more hundred dollars.
Exactly what I was looking for. Good quality also.
It is long last and beautiful too, great material
Very pretty. Nice comforter for the price.
I'm sorry to say I did not care for this set. It was pretty cheaply made.
Love the look and the brighten of my bedroom... love the fabric and the design.

This is a new type of animation I haven't seen with Google Earth before. James Stafford has posted at his Barnabu blog a way to view hurricane satellite photo animations which doesn't eat up too much memory. He creates "followspots" – just a circular clip around each hurricane – rather than animating the full-sized satellite photo. And uses the time slider feature in GE to allow you to watch animations. In the example provided (7 MBytes), he shows you several Atlantic hurricanes from 2006. If he had used the full-earth satellite photos for these animations it would have been >300 Mbytes, so this is a much more effective approach.
You can also watch a video of the animation here:
By the way, I'm headed to the Annapolis Boat Show for the next two days. I'll have limited time for posting.

Tour Overview
Come and see a bounteous country that has played a highly significant role in world history. Home to a civilisation that rivaled the Roman Empire, Carthage was eventually conquered and resettled into a sprawling metropolis, while the influence of the Roman Empire still lingers in the many temples and theatres that are still standing; the world as it once was shines through smaller details, such as visible ridges carved into stone streets where chariot wheels made their mark. It is no wonder that this land held such appeal for so powerful an empire; the beautiful lakes and hills make for a beautiful oasis. It seems that the land has so much to offer that the residents of Matmata have taken full advantage by building their homes right into the sandstone hillsides. A country so spectacular in natural beauty is only made more alluring by architectural crowning achievements, such as the remains of massive aqueducts that once ran for a whopping 80 km.

Routing is a basic function in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). For these networks, routing algorithms depend on the characteristics of the applications and, consequently, there is no self-contained algorithm suitable for every case. In some scenarios, the network behavior (traffic load) may vary a lot, such as an event-driven application, favoring different algorithms at different instants. This work presents a hybrid and adaptive algorithm for routing in WSNs, called Multi-MAF, that adapts its behavior autonomously in response to the variation of network conditions. In particular, the proposed algorithm applies both reactive and proactive strategies for routing infrastructure creation, and uses an event-detection estimation model to change between the strategies and save energy. To show the advantages of the proposed approach, it is evaluated through simulations. Comparisons with independent reactive and proactive algorithms show improvements on energy consumption.
A Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) [
Because WSNs are resource-constrained networks—regarding energy, bandwidth, and computational capacity—algorithms and solutions for WSNs need to be resource efficient. In addition, WSNs demand self-organizing features, i.e., the ability of autonomously adapt to changes resulting from external interventions, such as topological changes (cause by failures, mobility, or node inclusion) or reaction to an event detection.
An important issue in WSNs is collecting and processing data perceived from the environment and sending that data to be processed and evaluated by an external entity connected to a sink node (or gateway). As a consequence, routing data towards the sink node is a fundamental task in WSNs. Due to the resource constraints, different algorithms have been proposed considering specific application and scenario characteristics [
Regarding the application characteristics, WSNs can demand different data collecting strategies, such as periodic, eventual, or on-demand strategies [
Hybrid adaptive approaches for routing are natural choices to deal with dynamic scenarios by choosing the best routing strategy in response to current network conditions. In this context, some protocols have been proposed for ad hoc networks (MANETs), such as ZRP [
In this work, we evolve this approach by considering the temporal characteristic of event occurrence and detection through an estimation model. Thus, the proposed solution, called Multi-MAF, captures the seasonal and dynamic characteristics of events for predicting and choosing which routing strategy should be used: a reactive or proactive strategy. The Multi-MAF algorithm is evaluated through a set of simulations that compares the hybrid approach to their reactive and proactive components, and other well-known proposals.
The remainder of this paper is organized as follows. Section 2 presents a broader discussion about data routing in WSNs. Section 3 presents the Multi-MAF algorithm by describing its reactive and proactive components and the adopted adaptation model. Section 4 evaluates Multi-MAF by comparing the hybrid solution to its individual reactive and proactive components. Finally, Section 5 presents our final considerations and outlook.
The routing task in WSNs differs from traditional (and ad hoc) networks in many aspects. In WSNs, energy efficiency is a major concern, since sensor nodes are battery powered. In addition, a common task in a WSN is to collect and process data acquired from the environment and send it to be further processed and evaluated by an external entity connected to a sink node (or gateway). Hence, routing data towards the sink node is a fundamental task and different algorithms have been proposed [
Routing protocols may be classified according to different criteria. Considering the strategy for infrastructure creation and maintenance, we have three major classes:
Such a hybrid adaptive approach has not been widely adopted in WSNs. In addition, current MANET protocols are not suitable for sensor networks due to several particularities inherent in such resource-constrained networks. Unlike MANETs, in which communication is essentially many-to-many, in WSNs communication is usually many-to-one, since data flow from sources to a sink node or from sources to a cluster-head. This characteristic provides a broader view for a sink or cluster-head to perform an adaptive control of the nodes under its responsibility. The traffic characteristic also differs between these networks, and this fact must be considered in an adaptive model. While in MANETs the nodes can dictate how data is generated according to their independent applications and user needs, in WSNs this can be dictated by an external application for the whole network according to different requisition models or queries [
In this section, we provide a detailed discussion about the design principles of our hybrid routing algorithm for WSNs, which we call Multi-MAF.
An adaptive behavior refers to the network ability to react to some perceived situation. A generic adaptive model for data routing in WSNs is depicted in
The monitoring phase consists of receiving the sensed data and state information collected from the network. The profile of applications running on the network and the type of data request is also considered as a basis for decision making. The analysis may use accounting, threshold evaluation, prediction or inference techniques, depending on node resources and processing capacity. In this case, the goal is to detect situations in which some action is needed to achieve a better performance or to recover from an undesirable situation.
The Multi-MAF solution autonomously adapts its behavior in response to the variation of the network conditions according to the adaptive model described in Section 3.1. Multi-MAF is built using traditional reactive and proactive routing strategies for WSNs, and it applies an adaptive rule based on characteristics common to this kind of network. As a proof-of-concept, our implementation addresses particular algorithms and scenarios, but the insights presented here could guide the design of other adaptive hybrid solutions for WSNs.
The adaptive control of Multi-MAF is performed by the sink node that interacts with external applications and monitors the network traffic. Thus, many-to-one communication is assumed. Network clustering, a common approach in WSNs [
Regarding the application's requisition model, routing can be [
The proactive and reactive components of Multi-MAF are classical approaches for WSNs, so they are not this paper's contribution. Our goal is to show how a hybrid solution can be built having in mind the benefits of choosing a proactive or a reactive routing strategy, based on the current traffic profile. In addition, an integrated forwarding rule is also presented for hybrid operation.
A simple and efficient structure for data dissemination is a routing tree [ The sink node starts the process by broadcasting a building (control) message to all neighbors, as shown in When a node receives the building message, it sets the first sender as its parent and broadcasts the building message to all its neighbors, discarding building messages from other neighbors. Other parent selection strategies may be used, such as the node that belongs to the path of greater residual energy. An interesting practical approach is presented by Woo Whenever a node has a data packet to be transmitted (sensed or forwarded by another node), it sends that packet directly to its parent as shown in The building process is periodically repeated, so the network adapts itself to eventual topological changes, such as failures, node movements, and node additions. This periodicity depends on how frequent topological chances occur. The more dynamic the network, the shorter the rebuilding period.
On demand algorithms, such as AODV [
In this work, we propose a simple reactive algorithm, called SID (Source-Initiated Dissemination). SID is similar to the Push Diffusion [ A source node that detects an event broadcasts the sensed data, its identification, and a timestamp to all neighbors [ Whenever a node receives the data sent by another node, it stores its data identification (source node identification and timestamp) and the sender's identification. Eventually the node receives that packet from all neighbors, however, it will store and forward only the first packet. The amount of memory required by the algorithm is proportional to the network size. Other criteria for path formation may be considered, just as mentioned in the EF-Tree description. Similarly, data will arrive at the sink node from all neighbors. Then, the sink will send a control message requesting the data to be sent by the node from which it first received the data. This message identifies the data to be sent. This process is executed periodically by the sink while data is received. When a node receives this control message (data request), it repeats the process and identifies which node should send that data. This process is repeated until the source nodes are reached, as shown in Once a source node receives the control message requesting its data, it will update its own table so it will send further data packets to the node that first requested it. Thus, data is disseminated through the path where the sink's requisition message arrived [ In order to allow the network to adjust to eventual topological changes (due to failures, mobility, or node inclusion), requisition messages are periodically sent by the sink towards the sources while data is being received. Once a node (source or relay) stops receiving requisition messages, due to any topological change, the node restarts to send or forward data by broadcast. Thus, if any path exists, data will reach the sink again and it will restart the requisition process. Once the events disappear, data traffic stop and, consequently, the sink node stops sending requisition messages to source nodes. In the absence of periodic requisition messages for a specific piece of data, the table entries expire and the network becomes inactive again.
In order to prove the situations in which each algorithm is preferable, we present a comparative cost analysis regarding energy consumption, which is the basis for the Multi-MAF adaptive model.
When a path is formed by SID and EF-Tree algorithms, we have an approximated energy cost (in Joules) of data dissemination given by:
The significant cost differences of the algorithms are due to the routing infrastructure formation. For the EF-Tree this energy cost is given by periodic broadcasts of tree construction messages, which is estimated by:
SID does initial broadcasts for each source and the sink sends requisitions messages towards source nodes for path definition. In this case, we have:
Therefore, it is not appropriate to use the EF-Tree algorithm during inactive periods of traffic that are expected in event-driven applications, and the SID algorithm should be used when the event detection rate, which impacts in the number of sources, is low. These facts are explored on the proposed hybrid adaptive approach to achieve the best performance from both solutions.
In a hybrid operation, the routing strategy chosen by the sink must be propagated to all network nodes and a broadcast control message might be used to switch the source nodes from one algorithm to another. In this work, we simplify this transition by assuming that all network nodes always respond normally to control messages as their original protocols determine, but validity is maintained through a timestamp and a predefined period of time given by the periodicity of the reconstructions and requisitions of EF-Tree and SID, respectively. Thus, we apply an integrated forwarding rule to automatically adjust the network according to the sink decision: every data packet (generated or forwarded) is sent through a routing tree if it is available (EF-Tree behavior); otherwise, data is sent to the neighbor from which a specific and valid requisition was received (SID behavior); otherwise, the data is sent by broadcast (Flooding).
Multi-MAF is composed of operating changes between a reactive and a proactive behavior controlled by the sink. In this section, we study what happens during these transitions and their impact on data routing behavior.
The initial routing state of Multi-MAF is SID and it changes to EF-Tree when a tree-build message is received. Multi-MAF stays in this state while periodical tree-build messages are received. A timeout leads the algorithm back to the SID state.
In this section, we describe how adaptation is performed, with the routing mechanisms previously described, to save energy.
In event-driven scenarios, a sensor node detects an event when its measured value represents a situation of interest. Once this occurs, we assume that the sensor node starts to generate and send data towards the sink.
In such scenarios, we also expect spatial and temporal correlation in event detections by sensor nodes. In addition to the influence area of events, which causes simultaneous detections in a nearby area, events may present a seasonal characteristic, where they can be distributed in time following an occurrence rate, or a dynamic characteristic, where they can present an increasing actuation range or mobility (as the examples in
As described before, reactive algorithms are preferable if the network is inactive or events are rare. By analyzing the reactive and proactive algorithms presented before, we can observe that the cost of data flooding for path discovery in SID is similar to the cost of a tree-building in EF-Tree, which establishes a routing infrastructure for all reachable nodes at once. Thus, if we expect to have at least one source detecting events in the next time interval of route validity, the proactive behavior can be taken to avoid new discovery flooding and save energy. This knowledge is used by the adaptive model of Multi-MAF.
For event-detection estimation, we apply the simple signal processing method of Moving Average Filter (MAF) [
We have chosen the MAF method due to its capacity to capture the behavior of the last
For the Multi-MAF's adaptation, as soon as a high traffic condition is detected and a proactive behavior is assumed, more advantages can be achieved. Thus, we configured the monitoring periodicity with the same value of the data generation rate of the source nodes. The output of MAF is used as the estimate for the next period of observation. For example, if the monitoring period is 10s (used later in our simulations), the MAF results on the expected number of detections for the next 10s. As described before, we want the estimate for the next route validity interval, and by assuming this value as ten times the data rate (also used in our simulations), we can assume that if 10×
If Multi-MAF is already operating in the proactive mode with a valid routing infrastructure, this action is not performed until the validity expires. The resulting adaptive rule of Multi-MAF is depicted in
In this section, the algorithms described in this work are evaluated through simulation. We first present an evaluation of the
The experiments were performed with the ns-2 Network Simulator (
In all simulations, we considered a 50-node network randomly distributed in an area of 100 × 100 m2 and only one sink. Both data and control messages have 20 bytes and are transmitted every 10 s and 100 s, respectively. The main metric evaluated was the energy consumption. All experiments were executed 33 times with a confidence interval of 95% (vertical bars in graphics).
Due to the absence of a generic event model for WSNs, we represent the event-driven scenario by two types of detection distribution: Uniform and Gaussian distributions. In the first case, the variation on the detection ratio is represented by different number of sources generating data randomly during the simulation time. This distribution can represent the occurrence of uncorrelated event detections. In the second case, detections are distributed with a standard deviation around an average simulation time, and this distribution can represent the occurrence of correlated detections.
To better understand how the
In all cases, the lower the filter window
In the first scenario, we have sources generating random data during the time, according to a Gaussian distribution that represents the occurrence of correlated detections of events. We set the average of this distribution in the middle of the simulation time of 4000 s and standard deviation of 100 s. The duration of the data generation was a random value between 1 s and 100 s.
In the second scenario, based on the previous one, we represent the detection of uncorrelated events. The variation on detection rate is represented by different number of sources generating data randomly distributed over the simulation time of 4000 s according to a Uniform distribution.
In the last case, with high number of detections, Multi-MAF and EF-Tree performances are not the same, because since the simulation time is kept constant, the increasing number of sources leads to a decreasing inactivity time, amortizing the cost of the EF-Tree from the start of simulation. Since Multi-MAF always starts to operate as SID, changing to EF-Tree only when the MAF detects this traffic condition leads to initial data flooding. In a real event-driven scenario, we can expect to have longer inactivity periods than in the previous simulated scenario. Thus, the energy cost of the EF-Tree shifts to a higher value due to its proactive characteristic which results in a better relative performance for both SID and, in special, Multi-MAF.
To assess the resilience of Multi-MAF, we fixed the number of sources in 50 nodes with a Uniform distribution in the simulation time, and varied the probability of node failures from 0% to 50% randomly during the simulation. When a node fails, it stays inactive until the end of simulation.
In this section, we compare Multi-MAF to other algorithms, namely the Push Diffusion and One-Phase-Pull (1PP) Diffusion algorithms [
The previous hybrid adaptive proposal [
In this work, we proposed an adaptive hybrid approach for routing in WSNs, called Multi-MAF. Multi-MAF aims at autonomously adapting the routing strategy to improve the energy efficiency, when the network presents different traffic profiles. An event detection model was proposed to support the adaptive decision behind Multi-MAF. As a result, we showed that when operating conditions of the network are unpredictable, adaptive approaches, such as Multi-MAF, are more suitable than a fixed routing strategy, leading to resource savings.
To the best of our knowledge, there is no other solution for WSNs considering hybrid adaptive behavior for routing. Although this approach was first introduced in the MANET domain (see Section 2), this work differs from those, since we consider the traffic characteristic of WSNs to estimate event detections, and reduce the impact of reactive path discovery by choosing a proactive strategy. This is an interesting approach for resource-constrained networks operating with dynamic traffic profiles. In addition, Multi-MAF considers a simple reactive and a simple proactive routing solution for WSNs.
As future work, we intend to improve both the reactive and proactive components of Multi-MAF. Recent contributions—such as BVR [

Talk at Hotel Plaza
Chicago, Illinois
Notes by Joseph H. Hannen
In this Cause consultation is of vital importance, but spiritual conference and not the mere voicing of personal views is intended. In France I was present at a session of the senate, but the experience was not impressive. Parliamentary procedure should have for its object the attainment of the light of truth upon questions presented and not furnish a battleground for opposition and self-opinion. Antagonism and contradiction are unfortunate and always destructive to truth. In the parliamentary meeting mentioned, altercation and useless quibbling were frequent; the result, mostly confusion and turmoil; even in one instance a physical encounter took place between two members. It was not consultation but comedy.
The purpose is to emphasize the statement that consultation must have for its object the investigation of truth. He who expresses an opinion should not voice it as correct and right but set it forth as a contribution to the consensus of opinion, for the light of reality becomes apparent when two opinions coincide. A spark is produced when flint and steel come together. Man should weigh his opinions with the utmost serenity, calmness and composure. Before expressing his own views he should carefully consider the views already advanced by others. If he finds that a previously expressed opinion is more true and worthy, he should accept it immediately and not willfully hold to an opinion of his own. By this excellent method he endeavors to arrive at unity and truth. Opposition and division are deplorable. It is better then to have the opinion of a wise, sagacious man; otherwise, contradiction and altercation, in which varied and divergent views are presented, will make it necessary for a judicial body to render decision upon the question. Even a majority opinion or consensus may be incorrect. A thousand people may hold to one view and be mistaken, whereas one sagacious person may be right. Therefore, true consultation is spiritual conference in the attitude
and atmosphere of love. Members must love each other in the spirit of fellowship in order that good results may be forthcoming. Love and fellowship are the foundation.
The most memorable instance of spiritual consultation was the meeting of the disciples of Jesus Christ upon the mount after His ascension. They said, "Jesus Christ has been crucified, and we have no longer association and intercourse with Him in His physical body; therefore, we must be loyal and faithful to Him, we must be grateful and appreciate Him, for He has raised us from the dead, He made us wise, He has given us eternal life. What shall we do to be faithful to Him?" And so they held council. One of them said, "We must detach ourselves from the chains and fetters of the world; otherwise, we cannot be faithful." The others replied, "That is so." Another said, "Either we must be married and faithful to our wives and children or serve our Lord free from these ties. We cannot be occupied with the care and provision for families and at the same time herald the Kingdom in the wilderness. Therefore, let those who are unmarried remain so, and those who have married provide means of sustenance and comfort for their families and then go forth to spread the message of glad tidings." There were no dissenting voices; all agreed, saying, "That is right." A third disciple said, "To perform worthy deeds in the Kingdom we must be further self-sacrificing. From now on we should forego ease and bodily comfort, accept every difficulty, forget self and teach the Cause of God." This found acceptance and approval by all the others. Finally a fourth disciple said, "There is still another aspect to our faith and unity. For Jesus' sake we shall be beaten, imprisoned and exiled. They may kill us. Let us receive this lesson now. Let us realize and resolve that though we are beaten, banished, cursed, spat upon and led forth to be killed, we shall accept all this joyfully, loving those who hate and wound us." All the disciples replied, "Surely we will--it is agreed; this is right." Then they descended from the summit of the mountain, and each went forth in a different direction upon his divine mission.
This was true consultation. This was spiritual consultation and not the mere voicing of personal views in parliamentary opposition and debate.

The Gait Profile Score and Movement Analysis Profile

The GaitDeviation Index (GDI) has been proposed as an index of overall gait pathology. This study proposes an interpretation of the difference measure upon which the GDI is based, which naturally leads to the definition of a similar index, the Gait Profile Score (GPS). The GPS can be calculated independently of the feature analysis upon which the GDI is based. Understanding what the underlying difference measure represents also suggests that reporting a raw score, as the GPS does, may have advantages over the logarithmic transformation and z-scaling incorporated in the GDI. It also leads to the concept of a Movement Analysis Profile(MAP) to summarisemuch of the information contained within kinematic data. A validation study on all children attending a paediatric gait analysis service over 3 years (407 children) provides evidence to support the use of the GPS through analysis of its frequency distribution across different Gross Motor Function Classification System(GMFCS) and Gillette Functional Assessment Questionnaire (FAQ) categories, investigation of intra-session variability, and correlation with the square root of GGI. Correlation with GDI confirms the strong relationship between the two measures. The study concludes that GDI and GPS are alternative and closely related measures. The GDI has prior art and is particularly useful in applications arising out of feature analysis such as cluster analysis or subject matching. The GPS will be easier to calculate for new models where a large reference dataset is not available and in association with applications using the MAP.

text: There are plenty of issues to divide a community, but creating a fun, safe playground for youngsters isn't one of them. In fact, it can bring folks together, say Deb Cox and Miranda Weiss, co-chairs of HoPP, Homer Playground Project. The community has an opportunity to do just that this week as HoPP draws attention to the playground at Karen Hornaday Park with help from John Dean of Play By Design, an Ithaca, N.Y., company specializing in community-built playgrounds. "There's so much heavy stuff going on out there in the world. This is really, really a pretty positive thing when you're talking about it," said Cox. "No one told me I'm crazy or that it's a horrible idea. It's definitely an asset to being involved in this. It's a fun project." Using input from the area's younger population, as well as local artists, builders, designers, educators and other community members, Dean will develop a draft design for the park today and Friday. On Saturday, a new playground kick-off party, complete with free hot dogs, grilled salmon, fresh local veggies and music by Rufaro, a kids' marimba band, will give the community an opportunity to view Dean's design. The goal is to have an updated Karen Hornaday Park completed by Summer 2012. Other Alaska communities that have already been through the process and created new playgrounds agree with the overall benefits of the process. "You don't get only a playground out of it, but you really form lasting relationships and friendships that are life-long. It's about community pride, bringing a community together that is something that will always live with me," said Dana McDonald, coordinator of a similar effort in Soldotna. That project took two years, from 2009 to 2010, involved fundraising $225,000, drew on the volunteered efforts of 819 individuals, culminated in a week of building, and resulted in the 12,000-square-foot Soldotna Creek Park. "It was working beside people you who you might never have known, but now you recognize," said McDonald. "A lot of people, when I see them in town, I think, 'Oh yeah, they were there helping build (or) they were serving food.' It was a project where every single person in the community could do something." Talkeetna embarked on a similar project in February 2007 and built Wild Woods Park in 2008. "Once we had the design, the formula was to push to get the work done. ... I have to agree that it was a good plan. It made all of us focus," said Karey Larsen, general coordinator of the Talkeetna project. Although original plans called for a $90,000 budget, "it was very soon in the project that we knew it wasn't going to get us what we were dreaming of," said Larsen. Increasing the effort, community members raised more than $250,000. They sold fence tickets, a $50 "ticket" on which the buyer's name is engraved and displayed on the playground fence; they applied for and received some grants; they held a barn dance; they did a wine and dessert fundraiser, they did a magic show for Halloween, complete with workshops. The result, a 1,000-square-foot playground, is something of which Larsen is proud. "It was a super experience. I think everybody that you would talk to would say the same thing," said Larsen. "It's such a positive community thing. We're always fighting over this and that and the other thing ... but it was fun to see everyone working side-by-side." HoPP's request for proposal was submitted to five different playground firms known for their work on projects similar to Karen Hornaday Park. Dean's experience in other Alaska communities, including Talkeetna, as well as the playground-by-design principals fit HoPP's vision. It also fit with a community emphasis within the Karen A. Hornaday Hillside Park Master Plan prepared in June 2009 by Jack Wiles, project manager, Kachemak Bay Conservation Society; the city of Homer's Planning Department; and the city's Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission. Dean's visit to Homer includes a work session with HoPP members, meetings with students at West Homer Elementary School, a reception with community leaders at Islands and Ocean Visitor Center and the kick-off party at the park from 11:30 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday.

His size disadvantage has been exposed more. I didn't watch last night but the highlights showed a lot of Sap getting hurt inside instead of Al as Memphis pulled him out on Gasol with their high low game. Looked to me like Randolph worked him over pretty good. Millsap has also shown up a lot failing to help on penetration plays. He's there to contest shots but doesn't block many and fouls plenty.
Every post of yours I read brings me one step closer to tankville. I might not make it to 15 games this year.
No Mediocrity
Hayward, Favors, Burks and Kanter are our worst four +/- guys for the year so far.
Millsap's our best.
I still believe in Millsap. Id much rather lose Jefferson. I think a Favors Millsap combo would be a lot better than any other combo. Al is just hard to play with for anyone. Favors, Millsap, or Kanter struggle to get into a groove and get the shots they want with Al just standing around in the paint, and forcing everthing to revolve around him. Blahhhhhhhh. This has been gone over a million times.
Its Al. The problem is Al. It always has been. Anybody with a freaking clue can see this. Blame the god damn management for not recognizing this and rectifying the problem.
Ugggghhhh. This isnt that hard.
Milsap off the bench!
